Latvian Prime Minister Laimdota Straujuma expressed her hope on Wednesday that the new Greek government will respect the agreements signed with the Eurozone member-states as part of its bailout program. Latvia has just taken over the six-month rotating European Council presidency. Speaking to journalists in Brussels, Straujuma noted that the EU will have to wait for the election results in Greece and not rush to conclusions, as the country has “the right to choose its government freely.” The Latvian Prime Minister also said reforms will have to continue in Greece since there is no alternative solution to the implementation of its program, which has been agreed with its international lenders.
